I will weigh in on Saturdays and also on the first and last day of each month to get a monthly tally for myself. My weight swings back & forth a lot, mostly due to self-sabotage when I start doing well. However, I have managed to lose approximately 20 pounds since July of 2023. I expect the loss will begin to slow down a bit, but I am feeling pretty strong and confident that I can reach my goal in 2024.
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

03/02-178.0-(Trend Weight: 179.3)- I’m not sure why the uptick from my Feb 29th weight since I had a very good day but I’m not surprised after such a big whoosh the day before. Likely my body is readjusting and settling in to a new comfortable place. I’ve just got to trust the process and keep my eye on the ball. For me that would be getting under 174.2. When I do that, it will be my lowest weight in 17 years. After that, my next mini goal would be to enter into the 160’s. But, hey, one thing at a time, right? Let’s CRUSH this month and show March who’s boss!
03/09-178.8-(Trend Weight: 178.8)- I was doing better earlier in the week and was prepared to show a bit of a loss but I just couldn’t get full these past two days. You ABSOLUTELY can gain wait on approved foods. Too much is simply too much.

When I started 2024, my heaviest was 68.5kg
My goal weight is 55kg
Yesterday I was at 66.1kg.
I’m fairly confident that with discipline I can reach that goal. I have been working towards that for the past few weeks except for a few slip up days in between. I’m looking forward to wearing my beautiful clothes again!
I have set a medium goal for myself to achieve below 60kg weight by June, in time for cricket T20 World Cup. Let us see ! I have to lose 2kg each month to get there!2 -

Hi everyone,
I'm jumping off here and joining a three months challenge that starts on April 1st. It might be best if I'm on just one challenge at a time.
Wishing you all the very best!

What happened in March...Pizza appeared...which means an increase in carbs. Mixed drinks and wine = empty calories. Lots of snack attacks. Then got sick - 2 days of no exercise.

Checking in after a week out of my routine. I'm up a few pounds, which puts me back in the 160's but know some of that is water weight that will resolve in the next few days/week.
The progress I feel I've made in the past few months is that these times when I am thrown out of my routine and find myself overeating remind me that I don't like the way I feel when I move less and eat more. And since I'm giving myself until the end of the year to lose the last 15ish pounds, I'm not beating myself up over it. No need to make up for it with extra restriction or exercise, just go back to my routine that I enjoy enough to crave when I'm out of it.
I am looking forward to spring/summer when there's less pull towards comfort foods and hibernation. Hubby and I have booked a summer vacation visiting national parks in the western US with lots of hikes and activities. I would have been a bit nervous about something like this in the past, worrying that I would not be able to keep up or might even fail to complete some of the hikes. Now I have no worries about that. Hubby and I have been doing some conditioning hiking in our local state parks and the sections that I used to have to pause 2 or 3 times on are now barely leaving me winded when I do them in one straight shot.

04/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Easter dinner was at Golden Corral all-you-can eat buffet. I didn’t need to weigh to know I overate and gained.
04/06-181.6-(Trend Weight: 181.2)- March was a horrible month for me with plenty of ups & downs on the scale. Overall, it looks like I’m up and I can’t just blame Easter. I have had an insatiable craving for sugar, and I mean A LOT of it. Something has got to give or April will be bad too. I don’t need to go backwards to the point where I get lost completely.

Hi everyone,
I dropped out for awhile and really slacked of, but now I'm ready to make a fresh start; so I'm jumping right back in! I forgot to weigh in before eating today; so I will count my Monday morning scale weight as my Sunday weigh in and will report my weight every Sunday going forward.
Enjoy your day!
